Dortmund Warm Up for Bayern Showdown with Wolfsburg Win ¶
On the second weekend of the Bundesliga's restart after a two-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Borussia Dortmund warmed up for their top-of-the-table clash against Bayern Munich with a 2-0 win at Wolfsburg on May 23, 2020.
Goals by Raphael Guerreiro and Achraf Hakimi sealed an away win behind closed doors, leaving Dortmund a point behind league leaders Bayern. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre attributed the win to the lack of fans' noise in the stadium, saying, “I think it’s positive that the players can now hear me better in the stadium.”
Wolfsburg, Portugal winger Guerreiro, who netted twice in last week’s 4-0 derby thrashing of Schalke, opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. Erling Braut Haaland, who had scored 10 goals in nine league games since joining in January from Red Bull Salzburg, mistimed his attempt to meet a cross, but Guerreiro was on hand to tap home.
Second-from-bottom Werder Bremen claimed their first victory in eight league games with a 1-0 win at Freiburg, while Bayer Leverkusen moved up to third place with a 3-1 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
